i3-Mechatronics Offers Solutions for Customers’ Smart Factories
The term “”IoT” or “industrie 4.0” has come to be used in a broad meaning in recent years because of advances in telecommunications technologies,
and many things such as automobiles, factories, and home appliances are connected digitally.
Yaskawa promotes i3-Mechatronics as a solution concept in response to such trends in IoT and industrie 4.0.
At i3-Mechatronics, we propose that in addition to automating “cells,” digital data should be used to manage these tasks.
This enables us to manage the operation status of equipment with process data and the production status with status data as “numerical values” rather than “expert knowledge”.
We want to provide our customers with data management that eliminates red lights that are out of service and keeps the green lights on at their factories.
